Atlanta to Trump: ‘How dare you!’
The Atlanta Constitution is expressing the sentiments of their community.
Atlanta’s largest newspaper the Journal-Constitution took aim at President-elect Donald Trump on Sunday, blasting him for attacking U.S. Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) and for disparaging the congressman’s district.
“Atlantans responded with an incredulous ‘how dare you!’” said the first line of Sunday’s top story, according to Mediaite.com.
Former reality TV star Trump attacked Lewis on Twitter, saying that his urban Atlanta district is in “horrible shape and falling apart” and that Lewis has accomplished nothing in his long legislative career.
“A stunned Atlanta, along with admirers of John Lewis from across the country, took to social media to harshly criticize the remarks,” said the Journal. “They characterized Trump as clueless about everything from Atlanta’s thriving intown neighborhoods to the beating Lewis took years ago as he marched in Alabama for voting rights. Brushing off the accomplishments of Lewis, who is widely revered by many Americans well beyond Georgia, went too far, they said.”
Atlanta’s Mayor Kasim Reed tweeted, “John Lewis is an American hero & a national treasure. Period. Full stop.”

Thing is, he did what he always does: shot off his big fat orange mouth without knowing anything about what he was talking about. No facts to back up his claim about John Lewis’ district. And we have lots more of this sh!t to look forward to.

Yes, that is the horrible part, 4 years of this chit.

maybe not, if the majority of the people who didn’t actually vote for the urine colored PSOTUS refuse to pee while he’s still in office….

Atlanta, just the first of many communities that will be the target of Trumps ire

WTF!
it was burned down once by the damn YANKEES already anyway. Having to give up their pee for the urine colored PSOTUS probably isn’t going to bother them too much.

That’s a great idea! We should have a “pee on the POTUS” day as soon as he’s inaugurated. And since tRump doesn’t seem to mind getting peed on, perhaps this is a good thing we can do for the incoming president. On the down side, with everyone who wants to pee on him, I’m afraid he might drown.

They could of characterized him simply as clueless about everything, not just John Lewis and Atlanta.

oh, I think the urine colored PSOTUS has a pretty good idea of how much available pee there is in America.
Suzanne McFly January 15th, 2017 at 22:41
Well he is stirring up a lot of $hit too.

so, John Lewis is an American hero and a national treasure?

the urine colored PSOTUS is America’s BIGGEST COWARD (fully documented 6X)
and the biggest business FAILURE with the largest single recipient Government BAILOUT in the nation’s history!
SEVERAL TIMES ALREADY!

Well, when it comes to being a yellow failure, tRump could surpass Dubya and Reagan as the most idiotic presidents of all time.
